I'm tired of dieting and I don't know what else to do.

When I think about it, I've been on some type of diet since I was 9. (That's close to 30 years of dieting, if you're wondering.) I've done Jenny Craig, NutriSystem, Weight Watchers (in all of it's various forms), CICO, IIFYM, diet pills, Shakeology, Atkins, South Beach, some weird diet where I had to wait three hours to switch from eating protein to carbs, The Zone, vegetarianism, you name it - I've probably tried some form of it. I successfully lost 60lbs doing CICO, but then got off track and regained 40.

Last night I went to dinner with my husband and had the usual mental war in my head: do I eat good (salad) or do I eat bad (anything else)? And I realized, I am SO TIRED of agonizing about food. About weighing, measuring, reading labels, meal planning, meal prepping, thinking about food ALL. THE. TIME. I've done it for forever and only once had any real success.

But I need to lose weight - for my health more than my vanity. This time last year I promised my doctor that I would lose 30lbs so I can stay off meds. Today I am 5lbs heavier than I was at that time. I'm at my wits end, and I don't know what to do. There's a small part of me that just wants to keep eating so I can go to Mexico and get weight loss surgery. Is there any way to be free from obsessing about food and calories and still lose weight?
